Secure Shopping and Privacy Policy

Since its inception in 1975, The Professional Development
Institute PDI Inc. has been a leading provider of management education, systems and
performance-improvement products throughout the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Europe, Japan
and China. For over 25 years, we have learned a great deal about customer care. We always
listen to your feedback to fully understand and appreciate your evolving needs, to
innovate in everything we do, and serve you better every day. We continue to create
practical seminars and management tools like the Harvard Planner (1984), Harvard
University Global System (1999) and Harvard University Global Software (2007).
We have built our website in 1996 to extend the high quality of service to our online
customers. In addition to offering our best products online, we are pleased to provide you
with excellent references about team leadership, management,
negotiation,
strategy, risk, e-business and investing.

Our Privacy Policy

Privacy is of paramount importance to us. The information you provide us including your
name, address, phones, email, purchases, credit-card info is used to:

process your order or seminar registration,

answer your questions,

provide us with feedback in online surveys

send you periodic mailings about our products and services or upcoming events.

We do not send unsolicited emails. We do not distribute,
rent or sell your information or provide our lists to anyone. Our seeded client lists
are held in strict
confidence by our authorized staff.
Specifically, all information provided on your order form or email is never distributed,
rented or
sold to anyone. It is stored in an environment that is secure and safe from
unauthorized access, both physical and electronic. In addition, access to our facility is
logged on 24-hour cameras.

With the following exceptions, no information about customers is shared in any
manner whatsoever with third parties for commercial gains or other purposes:

When it is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules and regulatory orders
(court order, audits by Internal Revenue Service or Canada Revenue Agency), or when the release
of requested information would likely prevent imminent harm to individuals;

When Harvard University audits our financial transactions and customer records;

When auditors, suppliers or contractors access information as part of their duties or install software
or information-technology equipment;

When it is necessary to involve a credit-collection firm to recover payments that are more than 120-day overdue,
relevant client information is provided to the collection firm to secure payment.

Safe and Secure Shopping Environment

Ensuring secure online ordering is essential to earn your trust and build a lasting
relationship with you. When you place an order with us online, all of your personal and
credit card information is encrypted (scrambled) before it is transmitted over the
Internet using secure socket layers (SSL). With SSL advanced technology, your personal
information is protected and cannot be read in transit. Once we receive your encrypted
transaction and personal data, we store it on a computer that is not accessible from the
Internet.

Our customer-service center is located in a recently built high-security building with
24-hour access control. Located in a high-technology park, the facility was constructed
for advanced radar development for defense. Shopping online with us is actually safer than
using your credit card at a store or a restaurant.

If you are not comfortable to order online, you are welcome to call our customer
service. If you have
further questions, please
contact us by email
or call 1-800-HARVARD or +1 (819) 772-7777.

While we strive to protect your personal information with the highest level of
confidentiality and security, we cannot totally guarantee the security of the information
you transmit to us beyond reasonable means. Our pledge is to do whatever we can to
continue to deserve your trust.

If you wish to opt out of our direct marketing, please inform us at any time by phone
toll-free at 1-800-HARVARD or +1 (819) 772-7777 or
contact us by email, please write "Remove from mailing list" in the subject
line.
